The U.S. House Speaker is now floating the idea of abolishing federal courts that block Trump’s agenda.

This is not theoretical. It’s authoritarianism in motion.

The judiciary is a core check on executive power—MAGA Republicans want it defanged.

But in practice, they are also constrained by norms & conventions. Since the early 20th century, for instance, #Congress has not dissolved #FederalCourts whose #judges displease it—which did happen in the more distant past. The idea of #CourtPacking has been considered out of bounds ever since #FDR tried & failed to reshape #SCOTUS in the 1930s by proposing to appoint up to 6 additional justices.

Ever wonder how it is that deeply ideological peeps keep getting like-minded judges to follow through on their deeply ideological crusades? Well, the Judicial Conference of the United States has been wondering for some time, and since they make the rules, they've now banned what they call "Judge Shopping" in Federal courts. Read this one. It's critical to understand. #law #justice #federalcourts #shenanigans vox.com/scotus/2024/3/12/24098

This time, however, #pipeline advocates had a new federal #law on their side — & in an unusual place. Tucked into last month's deal to raise the #DebtCeiling & avoid default was a provision Sen #JoeManchin insisted on in exchange for his support. In explicit terms, #Congress not only approved the #MountainValleyPipeline, but "#Section234" of the debt ceiling bill also took away the ability of #FederalCourts to hear any remaining challenges to it (um, what?).
